Our programs
We believe learning is as much about experience as it is about knowledge; and that a campus rich in diversity allows us to take a fresh look at challenges old and new.
We strive to provide an individualized learning experience tailored to your interests. You may pursue any of the following degrees, or simply enroll in individual courses for no-degree study.

Bachelor of Health
UNB Saint John’s Bachelor of Health program is unique in Canada, offering an interdisciplinary core curriculum that integrates professors from all other faculties on campus.
Students develop the knowledge and skills necessary for success in a variety of careers in the health sector. The program is also comprehensive preparation for further professional or graduate studies. All students complete core courses covering the biological and social determinants of health, current health issues and the management of health-care services.

Students complete their major with courses in accounting, marketing, organizational behaviour, human resource management and options including supply chain management, employee health and safety and operations management.
